Enjoy!

Jam packed weekend

So it is Friday afternoon and I have about 45 minutes till my weekend officially begins. As per usual I am headed to DE to see hubby , my son (QB1) & Tyreik for the weekend.

This weekend is going to be jam packed. Tonight my SIL & BIL fly up from Atlanta for the weekend and tomorrow my other SIL drives in as we have two football games to go to.

QB1 in action

#1 game starts @ 1:00 PM for my son (QB1)- this is a BIG game for his team, but unfortunately he is not 100% b/c he sprained his shoulder during last weeks game and was in a sling until Wed. Most likely he will not be able to throw much, but should be able to hand off. It sucks because last week there were 2 colleges there to see him and he ended up getting hurt :(

Cheergirlie in action

Then we have to drive 45 min. to be @ Villanova to see our daughter (cheergirlie) cheer for JMU. That should be a good game since Villa is ranked #1 (I think). Unfortunately she won't be able to stay around after the game and will have to drive back to school with her squad- but it will be great to see her for however long we can. Cheergirlie got kicked @ practice last Sun. night and had to get x-rayed to be sure she did not break her collar bone (she didn't) AND her knee is out of whack (think possible torn meniscus/surgery in her future???) She insists that she is fine, but she also sports an elbow sleeve & an ankle brace and is pretty much refusing to wear a brace on her knee for fear of looking like Bionic cheergirlie.

The "girls" doing what they do best- chillen'

Add to all of this packing up the two pups(+ their stuff) - bedding for our "company, some food to take with us and it rounds out the weekend nicely :)

Ten Guilty Pleasures

I was trying to think about what to write and was stuck... I thought about trying the 30 days of Truth idea that I saw on Skippy's blog I Make Soap... but honestly I don't feel confortable sharing some of my own dirty laundry so to speak. So I came upon the idea for ten guilty pleasures and decided to take a whack at it. I should note that these are not ranked or in any particular order.

Ten Guilty Pleasures

1.  Any really high quality milk chocolate- hands down one of the best things if you are having a bad day.

2.  A lazy morning when you don't have to get out of bed and can just lie there and relax and cuddle with someone you love.

3.  Getting either a massage or pedicure (or both*)- there is nothing like a good massage/pedi to make yourself feel pampered.

4.  Playing hooky on a work day just because you need a "mental health" a.k.a. day off.

5.  Reading a good book, even though there is other stuff you should be doing.

6.  Going out to eat @ a really nice restaurant and getting dessert!

7.  Playing my games on Face book. I farm, I am conquering the wild frontier... you have a problem with that?

8.  Buying yourself a new outfit, pair of shoes, perfume- whatever it is that floats your boat.

9.  Time alone *sans kids* with my husband (preferably somewhere tropical)

10. Going out to breakfast and being able to take your time and not rush.

So what is your guilty pleasure?

D Day

Tonight I go to my very first boot camp class... oh boy oh boy!

Can you tell how pumped I am? 

No?  

I was doing so well up until late July early Aug. then I fell off the wagon so to speak... *sigh*

So today is my D Day of sorts... the boot camp is Tues./Thurs. nights and I am going to get back to working out with Paul on Wed. nights...   hopefully this time I will be more consistent...

We shall see....

the latest in fall accessories

Do you have the latest accessory for fall????

No?

Oh I guess that means you are NOT a klutz like me... *sigh*

Sprained my ankle Sat. en route to my sons football game... I did however suck it up and stayed for the WHOLE game! (Impressed?)

As a sign of unity Cali was laying smack up against me... see her leg to the left of mine? 
However hers is unhurt...
mocking me....
